 If the action feels good in both directions, there's no end-play, & the cu=
ps aren't turning, they're likely OK.Often an early sign of failure is when=
 the cups start to turn; I paint reference marks on the end of the cup & yo=
ke so it's obvious if they're moving around.Personally if I were to go thro=
ugh the effort of removing them for servicing, they're cheap enough that I =
would fit new ones & 0-time it...

ing?=C2=A0 If so, can i just add more grease or does everything need to be =
cleaned (in that case, fugeddaboutit!)
